2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
2 that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles,
2 Keep in mind what the holy prophets said, and the command of our Master and Savior that was passed on by your apostles.
2 that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,
2 I want you to remember what the holy prophets said long ago and what our Lord and Savior commanded through your apostles.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Peter 3:2
Commentary on 2 Peter 3:1-4
(Read 2 Peter 3:1-4)
The purified minds of Christians are to be stirred up, that they may be active and lively in the work of holiness. There will be scoffers in the last days, under the gospel, men who make light of sin, and mock at salvation by Jesus Christ. One very principal article of our faith refers to what only has a promise to rest upon, and scoffers will attack it till our Lord is come. They will not believe that he will come. Because they see no changes, therefore they fear not God, Psalm 55:19. What he never has done, they fancy he never can do, or never will do.
